Upgrading Communication for Wellington School

Wellington School, a prestigious independent school in Somerset, needed to expand their existing two-way radio system to support their growing portfolio of events including concerts, sports days, and community gatherings. The key requirement was compatibility with their older handsets without replacing the entire system.

Wellington School in Somerset is a leading independent school with a strong reputation for excellence in both academics and co-curricular activities. The school hosts a wide range of events throughout the year, from concerts and open evenings to sports days and large-scale community gatherings, each requiring effective coordination and reliable communication.

To support the smooth delivery of these events, the school has long relied on two-way radios. However, as the scale and frequency of events grew, so did the need for additional, compatible communication tools that could integrate with their existing setup.

Expanding an Existing Communication System

The school needed to extend their current fleet of radios without replacing the entire system. The solution had to provide excellent audio clarity, simple operation, and full compatibility with their older handsets. Allowing staff to work together without disruption during time-critical events was key.

Choosing the Motorola R5

Wellington School turned to SFL Mobile Radio for advice. Chrissie Milton, Events Manager at the school, praised the service received:

“We recently purchased an additional set of radios, which we needed to integrate with our existing older model. Jordan was very helpful in recommending the correct model for our needs and we have been extremely pleased with the results. They work seamlessly with our existing handsets and we have already used them for multiple events. Very happy and would recommend!”

Following our guidance, the school selected the Motorola R5, a powerful and flexible radio designed to deliver professional-grade performance across a wide range of environments.

Reliable Communication for Busy School Events

Since their introduction, the Motorola R5 radios have been used across multiple events at Wellington School, delivering clear, uninterrupted communication and improving coordination across staff teams.
